JAKE SHARP, the Doodle king, is to have
a new trial. OF his guilt there is no cues
ton, and justice demands his punishment
Bnt if the telegraphic statement of the
decision of the Court of Appeals is correct,
the opinion is fortified strongly and backed
by vital principles of the law. Sharp had
been examined before legislative COM
mission investigating the Broadway Rail
way bribery cases. That testimony was
introduced on Sharp's trial against his OBJ
lection that it was a privileged statement,
and the appellate Court holds the obiec-
ton to have been well taken. The Code
of New York makes such statements
privileged, as we understand the Court to
say, to the extent that on trial of the
witness, the testimony he gave under COM
pulsion before the legislative committee
cannot be admitted in the face of his OH
lection.

EVERY argument yet advanced against
the market proposition proceeds upon false
premises. The $4,000 is not to be paid
for the lots. More than half of it is to be
used to fill and make the market square.
There will be paid no fancy price; the
Courts will determine the value upon evi.
dence adduced, and not land spectators.
The scheme is to benefit no interest. but
ereTy man, woman and child in the CITY.
The sum asked, $4,000, is mere trife
for city of 10000 inhabitants The
greater part of the sum will be paid by
men and women who advocate the plan
and are working for it. If the slough is
erer filled it must be done by the people
the private owners on the south side of |
street will not do it; they have been prom
lsing to do so for ten years, but have done
practically nothing in that direction.
Most of them are non-residents. and care
for nothing about the property except the
rents from Chinese tenants. If If is de-
sired that the railroad company shall fill
Its part of the slough, the people must, or
some one else, fill the south half: that is
the gist Of what we understand the rail
road men to say. The moment that work
begins the railroad company will begin to
fill also. Then enlarged works will follow.
and more men employed, and more money

labor-prosperity result. To refuse the tax
is to put a stop for years to the progress
indicated, and to rob this city of thousands
OF dollars monthly and some hundreds of
homes. One of the strangest and most alb
surd arguments against the market promo
sition is in print and reads that the filling
proposed will not do away with the slough.
Yet the railroad officials have over and
over again pledged their company to fill
the north side of the slough so soon rs
work begins on the south side. There will
remain practically nothing of the slough
IN year, if the the tax is voted. One
writer against the market asks:
But how is a market going to do away with
the slough? Suppose we fill in a narrow strin
IoT TWO docks, as proposed, are we any better
OIL? Is the slough to be any less Offensive viii
not the stenches stink as loud and the garbage
heaps offend as badly as before?
That citizen should not expose his gross
Ignorance. The condemnation of the
market plat means the filling of tie slough.
The larger portion of the money to be
voted is to be used for that purpose on the
south side, and the railroad company will
fill on the north side How then can there
be garbage dumping into the slough ?o

this time. They had an opportunity to
present their cases fully at the meeting
of the commission in Washington. They
did so in such an able manner the com
mission acCeded to their de-
mands by suspending the opera
ton of the obnoxious section of the act
and all that the railways can now reason
ably require is that this temporary sus-
pension shall be made permanent. This
I am disposed to believe will be done.
There are many railway men here, but so
far as l am Informed they do not propose
making any organized move upon the
commission. Indeed the commissioners
have plainly said we do not desire
hearing, we want TO give the business
men and people TN audience. This means
that the people, merchants, mill men,
etc, will hsve the first CLAIM upon the
commission.

Albert Robertson, convicted of muir
der IN the first degree at the fall term of
the District court of Smith county for the
wear 1886, and sentenced to be hanged on
the goth day of May, 1887, was negro
man about twenty-five years OF
age, and was born raised in
this county. He was perfectly
black, about six feet eleven inches high,
rather slender in appearance and weighed
shout $50 pounds. He had g straight
head, and slim bOnv face, and his
countenance was rsther pleasant, and did
not indicate the murderer. He had been
in exceedingly bad health since his con-
fnement in Jail, and since his sentence
was passed upon him he gave way so
rapidly that many predicted what has
happened, that he would not live to re-
ceive the dire punishment the courts had
decided should be meted out to him.
The crime for which he was convicted
was the murder of his wife, Annie Robert
son, on the first Monday in April, 1886.
She was shot down in her fathers house
while nursing en- infant at her breast, and
died few hours afterwards Her two
brothers and q neighbOr were in the room
in a few feet of the murderer, but
the killing was so unexpected they
could do nothing TO prevent it. Robert
son and his wife had been married about
one year, and the testimony showed that

this morning the alarm of fire was given,
and when the citizens located it the great
est CONSERVATION prevailed, as the build

only across an alley from Johnson & Hills
extensive wool and hide warehouse and
directly between two lumber yards. The
efficiency of the fire department prevented
the spreading of the flames, and in few

The building was owned by Captain A. H.
Barnes and occupied by Otto Geisecke as
residence. Cause so far unknown.
Loss on building $500; no insurance.

Bleaching Mills Burned.

NEW YORK, April 27.-The Bolton Dy-

mills in the village of Broweddale, West
Chester county, were discovered to be on
fire at 3 80 O'Clock this morning and soon
all available engines were throwing water
on the flames. Suddenly an explosion &C.
Cured that shook the country houses in
the immediate neighborhoOd to their foun-
dations, threatening to shake them down.
Men, women and children rushed out of
their houses in their night clothes scream
ing and wringing their hands. The first
explosion was followed in rapid sue
cession by four others that tore of
the roof and end Of the mill and sent the
debris sailing through the air distance
of 100 yards. The fire was got under con-
troll at O'Clock. The mills were owned
by Thomas and Henry Bolton and William
H. BirchelI. The loss is estimated about
$3.50, 600. Mr.. Birchel said the explC-
sion was caused by ten cylinder drying
cans, of which there were 100 in the mills.
The wet cloth is rolled over these cylin-
ders to dry About 100 men and women
who comprise the village are thrown out

this proved to be the case. They IabOred

thing they could do was to put the
water into the well. They got two large
tubs and filled them with nice
spring water, and when night came pro-

the other passing it along. Their en-
